Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan, LMHC

Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is an LMHC practicing in Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, addictions, grief, and changes that leave people feeling stuck. Sessions focus on real problems and practical ways forward rather than abstract theory.

She uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to what people bring into the room. That can mean talking through patterns that stem from early relationships, practicing skills to manage strong emotions, or testing small behavior changes and seeing what feels helpful. Mindfulness tools and solution-focused steps are used when they fit the goal.

Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient behavioral health, schools, churches, universities, and private practice. This variety informs how she thinks about stress, caregiving strain, blended family issues, and chronic illness. She draws on concrete resources such as books, podcasts, and clinical tools when useful.

In sessions she keeps language straightforward and practical. People who come when they feel directionless often start by identifying one manageable change. From there the focus is on skills, patterns, and decisions that move daily life a bit closer to what matters to them.

Dr. Sullivan also gives attention to attachment concerns, body image, family of origin problems, and issues around guilt or shame. If someone is balancing caregiving duties or chronic pain, she works on coping strategies and realistic pacing so daily responsibilities feel more doable.
